D.U.R.C. Regulations All members are required to acquaint themselves with _all_ regulations. Ignorance of rules will not be accepted as an excuse. If in doubt, ask a Range Officer (R.O.). Safety Regulations 1. Never, under any circumstances, point a rifle - whether loaded or not - at anyone. 2. Except when actually engaged in shooting, the rifle bolt must be kept fully open. Where appropriate, magazines should be removed. 3. Target changing may be carried out only with the permission of the Range Officer - who will ensure, having called a ceasefire - that all actions are open and direct all shooters to stand clear of the rifles. 4. Members will not commence shooting until the Range Officer has given the "Commence Fire" instruction. They must stop immediately once the "Cease Fire" instruction is given. 5. Members must ensure that the rifle is pointing towards the target at all times. No member may remove a rifle from the firing point, unless directed to do so by the Range Officer. 6. In the event of any problem arising with a rifle, e.g. a round failing to detonate, call the Range Officer. Never attempt to deal with the problem yourself. He/She knows how to handle it safely. 7. Rifles must be carried with the bolts visibly open and pointing towards the ground. 8. Ammunition must be kept in the blocks provided and used only as required. .22 rounds are rimfire and if dropped on a hard surface may detonate. 9. Smoking on the firing point or near ammunition is prohibited. 10. Only Range Officers and those actually engaged in shooting may be present on the firing point during a detail. Noone shooting on a detail may leave the firing point without permission from a Range Officer. 11. Members are required to familiarise themselves with the Club's General Regulations.
